Really cozy game, the accordion sound effect was great and worked really well with the music score.

Really cozy game, the accordion sound effect was great and worked really well with the music score.
I like the idea, but I think some more mechanics could make it more interesting. Perhaps some music and some fancier graphics? I do enjoy the satirical aspect of it however!
Art style was great, atmosphere too!
Liked it a lot, found the fog of war a bit scary lol
Great game! I really liked it, but the final level was a bit frustrating I think.
I really like the graphical style of this. However the gameplay itself felt a bit too "connect the pipes" for me. It's a simple game with some very nice stuff built around it. I really liked the mood though and I have no idea how you churned out the graphical stuff so quickly! Good job :D
Dude I laughed so hard when it cut to Cthulhu's job. Really nice!
Wow, how did you make this many assets in that short of a time? I really enjoyed the chill music. Mechanics reminded me a bit of katamari damacy, but not really at the same time. Charming little game anyway! :)
Wow, this is really cool. I'm amazed this was made in such a short time. My favorite so far!
Man that was difficult, but a pretty fun concept! Nicely done.
@pixelstuff Hey! We had some game breaking bug, it should be fixed now.
@mmisspelling Thanks so much! And agree on the font feedback - we could have picked a more readable one. We actually begun development in PICO-8 but then decided to migrate to Love2D to be able to fit more complex music, and the font just kinda followed along (I deliberately picked the pico-8 font). Glad you liked it! :)
Thanks everyone, we really appreciate your comments! As @toppervideogames mentioned we accidentally put the wrong sfx on some lines, we were pretty stressed towards the deadline :laughing:
@BridgeFromTV Glad you liked the Fronk bits, we had a ton of fun writing him. I put an epilepsy warning in as per your suggestion!
@tomssuli oh! we thought we eliminated all crashes... :( glad you liked it at least!
@leggy as stated on itch, you need to install Love2D and use that to run the game!
@leggy If that is not clear enough then after installing Love2D you should run
love milburt.love
And not treat it as an exe like you did!
I really liked this, one of the funniest entries I've played so far. It gets so chaotic after a while!
Wow, really nice mood going on here. I found the whole experience pretty creepy, especially witht he videos.
Really nice and moody. Fits the theme well in how you need to stabilize the different parameters.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere here, great job! I found it a bit difficult though!
Wow. I think this is such a nice way of implementing the theme into your game - loved the whole presentation and gameplay too! Charming, fun, difficulty is well balanced. Great entry!
Great entry! I really liked the opressive mood. The style really stuck with me, it's kind of comedic as well as depressing all at once. Great sense of humor in the game - none of that decaf shit!
@lvl99chicken @sammot @vixenmink Hi all, we've gone for the Extra category instead of Jam. We needed more time to actually finish the game. Please try it now, and let us know what you think of it! :smile:
@fredrik-rosell thanks for playing! Where did you get stuck?
@slecornu @nafos-games @cookie-chr Thanks for playing! Glad you all enjoyed it.
@tete Thank you so much for playing! :smile:
@quite-good Thanks for playing! Unfortunately the combat is extremely shallow. We didn't really have the time to implement anything more interesting, we focused on writing some, uh, "interesting" dialogue instead.
@ben-yazi Glad you liked it! :smiley:
10/10 best game best game
I really liked this. I could feel some similar elements to our game as well which made for an amusing playthrough. The humor was top notch!
I liked the idea but the hitboxes were kinda off I felt like!
I found this very charming, however I'd like to note that the dialogue sounds get extremely annoying very quickly. Some music would have been nice as well! Other than that it was great :D
@paul-avallone It is! However itβs the rightmost part of the graph, not the center. Those lines centered on the graph were a bit of a design miss in hindsight.
@foggydude Thanks! The ending screen is indeed something special :monkey:
@xsangyhix Thanks for playing! It was great watching your stream :ok_hand:
I liked this game, it's simple but fun. The perk system is nice :)
The game is great, loved how moody it is. A more calm meditative approach to the summoning theme. And I had no issues with the sound in my browser on MacOS.
I liked this, didn't see any other keyboard based games so far this jam. However I noticed that one of the levels ended prematurely for me, I had one line left to write! What happened?!
Great game, I never thought of implementing a TD game but it's perfect for the theme. I thought the difficulty spiked a lot in level 2 though as I lost all of my towers, not sure what's going on there...maybe I missed some gameplay element that would have allowed me to put down more towers per round.
I thought this was honestly one of the most fun to play jam games I tried so far! Very innovative take on the summoning theme, I enjoyed it!
@rincs Thank you so much for playing! It was great watching your reactions, especially your delight at the gnomes saying "yay" when you jump :laughing:
@spectra Haha thanks for your kind words, I can honest to god as the guy who programmed the whole thing tell you that it does not get harder at the end!
@keithswanger Thank you for playing!!
@ionbingo Terrifying. Thank you for playing!
@stanov Thanks for playing! :thumbsup:
Interesting take on the summoning idea, I liked this a lot! Took me a while to figure out how the game worked though
Wow, this was tbh the most innovative take on the summoning I saw yet. Finding all the endings was tough and reminded me of playing the stanley parable! Great work :)
The graphics style is so amazing. Really wonderful game!
Lmao summoning complete!!1!!
Quite difficult but entertaining little puzzle game, loved the art!
Very interesting take on theme, I thought this was great! However I couldn't see the bottom 33% of the screen, it was cut off on the itch page...idk why :( I could barely see the burger or anything below where you select your ingredients!
I thought this game was pretty simple but fun. Loved the intro dialogue, "wait we have no discrimination in my evil army" LOL.
